Foot Treatments


  1. Cleanse the feet with warm water and soap, and then mist with Sanitizing Spray.
  2. Apply a light coat of Intensive Hydrating Cream.
  3. Slowly immerse the foot in the paraffin wax.
  4. Then slowly remove the foot and wait about five seconds (until the paraffin no longer appears shiny) before redipping. The idea is to dip in and out of the Therabath, building up layers of paraffin.
  5. Repeat three to five times. For relief of pain and stiffness, dip up to 15 times.
  6. Optional: Cover the foot with a tective plastic liner and then slip on a Thinsulate-lined boot. This retains heat for a longer treatment.
  7. Allow the paraffin to remain in place until the heat goes away. (Note: Because you will grow accustomed to the heat, it may seem like the heat is gone before it actually is.)
  8. When ready to remove the paraffin, first remove the boot (if applicable). Then wiggle the toes slightly to loosen the paraffin, and slide the paraffin off (together with the plastic liner, if applicable). Discard used paraffin and plastic liner.
  9. If desired, apply a second coat of lotion, working into cuticles and dry areas.

NOTES:

  • Humans generally perceive more heat sensation in their feet, and when you dip a foot, the paraffin may seem much warmer. Simply immerse the foot much more slowly.
  • Because feet are larger than hands, you will displace more paraffin. Use extra care to avoid spilling.
  • Are paraffin foot treatments sanitary? See our hygiene page for more information.
